I found stone roses. I thought of Holly – House of Heart
They are on the same wall where I found “A Long Stemmed Rose for Holly.
The rose must have spilled seeds.
The seeds of love scattered,
and have grown on,
into a Stone Rose garden.
Like Holly’s poems, it’s lush and inviting.
It’s a beautiful happening!
The roses grow right out of the cement curb.
I wonder what will be here next time I pass by?

This nice a nice one, very delicate, not much color but it does convey the sense of drawing like the classic way of charcoal sketches, nice!
It is great! I agree with your opinion. Ohh, I would love to draw with charcoal or conte. I’ve tried a few times, but all I ever get is a mess! xx
The good thing about it is that it is quick, so we can give it a second, third or more tries…:) and to keep the messy part on the hands and fingers only, and more than often in my case the clothes, face..etc 😀
Thank you for the roses! Beautiful!
Joanna
You are so very welcome! Happy you like them.
A beautiful piece, Resa. The photography and story were terrific. The roses were good too. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, John!
I was atwitter when I went to revisit the long stemmed single rose painting, and there was an entire rose garden mural . It’s so poetic!
Tweety Twitter? It is so poetic.
Yeah! There’s nothing better than a Tweety Twitter.
😁
You did this whole post without mentioning The Stone Roses. I am shocked. Are you made of Stone? You must be an elephant stone.
Ah, well I don’t really know of The Stone Roses. They’re a band?
I am not made of stone. I am however stoned, from time to time.
Oh an elephant stone. Looking that up!
Yeah, like Manchester’s premium band. Look up the Reni hat. You’d suit that. Get yourself a Reni hat.
Maybe! Do they keep the sun off?
Yes! That’s what they’re designed to do, it’s like a bucket hat. You’d look super in one. Reni hat all the way!
Hmmm – I’ll keep on the look for one!
How beautiful is this xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As beautiful as you, dear Shey! 💐 🌹
Don’t tell the dudes I said that. They already give me a hard time! xoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
LOl. So funny, having a braw laugh here, you sweet lady xxxxxxx
Hale the artist!
Agree!
Cheers! 🍷
Resa – you find the most beautiful roses and who better to capture the spirit of the amazing mural – Holly, House of Hearts.
Roses are a meaningful image.
Holly’s poems are roses.
Almost finished a new drawing of RB, art director!
I’ll send it asap! So cool!
You are the best!! Yes Yes Yes – Holly’s poems are roses!!
I adore her poetry!
Nice “gallery” of photos, Resa! Roses painted on a wall seems contradictory yet appropriate. Beautiful art.
Thanks Dave!
Seems to me art/novels on walls, or other un-predicted canvases, are prime grist for piqued imaginations.
Art…novels…
Let’s stay in here, in the hub of creativity!
Well said, Resa! 🙂
That’s very well said, Resa!
Wouldn’t our world look so much nicer if more walls were painted in beautiful roses instead of the bland whitewashes and masonry paints we get now? Another fine bunch (of photos), thanks for sharing.
Yes Tyeth,
I am lucky to live in a city that likes its street art!
You are welcome.
Hey, Boba Fett was up for a best Sci-Fi nomination. Probably get one.
Hi again, yes I now live an industrial town and there isn’t a lot of art going on though there is a Visual Arts centre in the town centre, just no major street works. And funny you should mention Boba Fett, I met him once and he wanted my lightsaber…
Hahahaha!!!!!!!
Did ya let him have it? 😉 🥋
Yeshe definitely got it…. but I walked away with my saber afterwards! That saber is the first (real) one I ever got and will never part with it.
You never cease to amaze me my gifted friend. This is so beautiful, thank you for thinking of me. I adore you! 🌹🌹🌹
Adore you too!!
It’s crazy how that wall, that had 1 rose, blossomed into a whole garden! We have the best luck!
Just mailed AGM Holly with the last 4 bars. It’s so cool! 🌹xo🌹xo🌹xo
We are the queens of serendipity! Love the blossoming wall, it’s amazing. xoxoxo
xoxoxo 🌹👯♀️🌹
I Wanna Be Adored, another Stone Roses song that could have been referenced here… *ahem*
ERM! wait til ‘Olly sees this! I’m washing my hands & getting out the 🥊🥋🥊
‘olly ‘ell!
Ahem… this is my stone roses 🌹 you’ll get yours if you’re a good boy.
Is this like a Santa Claus type deal all of a sudden?
Not the Santa you’re expecting. Piccadilly, 5 o’clock. 🥷🗡
But it’s 7:25 pm, lady.
Splitting hairs, eh?
I don’t have much hair to split, lady.
erm… pardon!
Male pattern balding, lady.
Look, I apologized! What more do ya want? A hippy wig?
Yes! Until it arrives, I shall wear my Reni hat
That’s good then. You didn’t make the trip for nothing.
It’s 8:12 pm now, lady. It’s all humid here and gross. I’m staying in with me electric fan.
There’s a huge lightning storm passing over. Maybe another time? 🥧
When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain? No, when the hurlyburly’s done, when the battle’s lost and won. Innit.
Three of us. Do you need back up? Bring the hamster 🐹 it’ll be a love fest.
Just the hamster should work!
Wahahaha! 🐹🐹🎡
Hehehe!
xoxoxo
A love fest? Like Woodstock!?! I don’t even have a hippy wig ready for that.
More like Monterey!
I weren’t there, maaan. Bet it was far out, tho.
So, you were at Woodstock?
Of course! Kind of. I was born 15 years after it ended, but I watched the documentary a lot in 2006.
Right! I wasn’t there either!
No! Pushing the little hammy 🐹around in his tiny wheel barrow. No hippy wigs allowed.
How cute…hammie in a tiny wheel barrow. True, he wouldn’t need a wig. Unless of course he wants one to build a special bed/nest in his wheel barrow…How cute?
We have to meet at midnight since Hamsters are nocturnal. I’ll bring my hedgehog 🦔, they’ll get along famously!
All I can get my hands on are raccoons.
Raccoons are my arch enemy , they nearly attacked me on the beach once. Lolol.
They are not on our pals list.
Toronto is known as the raccoon capital of the world. It’s crazy. They carry rabies, and can be insanely aggressive.
So… all I have left is mice. Very very adorable! Little ears, paws and a cute nose. Hey, I wonder if Murray would like a friend mouse ?
Hamster has a sphere he runs around in. He’ll be o’reet.
How do you know what he’s thinking? He wants a ride on the Ferris Wheel.
I know what he’s thinking: “Food… FOOOODDD!!!” That’s what goes through that tiny brain of his 24/7.
A male huh?
HE’S ALL MAN!
I can tell by his paunchy little belly and no sense of fashion.
Hey, Murray isn’t fat! YOU TAKE THAT BACK!
I’ve only seen his little chubby cheeks nibbling carrots. I’m so sorry Murray. I was unforgivably presumptuous, keep running your maze and stick with the veggies.
Murray is very cute. i just hope ‘Oron is not over feeding!
Apparently Murray’s very religious, I hope we haven’t offended his eating rituals.
Oh! Gee, me too!
These are outrageous claims and definitely defamation against Murray, or something.
Do you think Murray is litigious?
Not really, I’ve never seen him praying or anything. I doubt there’s a Hamster God they all worship.
😂
😂
So funny. Here’s to ‘Oron and Murray 🍻
Are you over feeding?
Of course not, he’s in tip top shape!
So, next week?
Yarrrr!!
LOLOL!
xoxoxo
Mwaaahahaha!
xoxoxo
Yeah… especially the stones part!
Whoa, listen up , this is serious 🧐
Aww, okay, marshmallows. I would never hurt the ‘Oron! In lieu of there being no marshmallow emoji, I offer up a cupcake! 🧁
Oh, okay. The ‘0ron is special cause he loves hamsters 🐹 and so do I. I’m sending a marmite pie by way of Royal Mail. P.S. Dont go to Piccadilly.
Okay! He’s just lucky he has a hamster! Sooo cute!

So interesting that these roses are done as monochromatic!
I like the monochromatic too! The painter is a tattoo artist by trade. I can see where the eye comes from!
Ah, that the painter is a tattoo artist makes perfect sense visually.
I couldn’t agree more, dahling, lush and inviting like Holly’s poems!
Gorgeous roses on concrete! A wonderful find!!!!!!
hugs and love and more hugs and more love!
It’s a great find! I hope I find more Hera’s this summer.
I like that the same artist had originally done a single long stemmed rose, and now it’s a garden.
Mushy hugs and love!
I think the sponges are arriving today! xoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Gooooood because guess what:
🌊😘🐾😘🐾😘🐾😘🐾😘🐾😘🐾😘🐾😘🐾😘🐾😘🐾😘🐾🌊
I am loving the colorless beauty in these expansive flowers!
I love this. An entire garden where nothing grows. Great artist!
Pretty. Like looking at an entry in a sketch book. Thanks for sharing 😎
It is pretty! wish my sketch book entries were this good! xo
Mine too! Oh well, we will keep sketching to improve, ay? 😊
Yes!!!! xo
This is absolutely gorgeous, Sorceress! In black and white, it gives them both drama and softness (I know, makes no sense, but what can I say?)
Some people have so much talent!
I love this mural! You do make sense. I feel the same way!
The guy is a tattoo artist by trade. He has developed an eye for tone on tone.
Just thinking… drama, softness monochromatic… sounds a lot like Thunder clouds to me! xo
I should have known you’d see what I do 😉
The tone on tone is absolutely stunning. Thunder roses! xo
Yeah!!!!! I like that. Thunder Roses… a book, a band, a work of art. xo
Ya baby!!! We rock between us 😉 xoxo
😉 xoxo
💕
Thanks Resa to let us know the treasures on the wall of Toronto .
Love ❤
Michel
This mural is a treasure! 🌹
Thank you, Michel! xoxo
These are wonderful.
Agree! I was elated when I saw this mural.
You have beautiful real roses.
I get cement roses. I’m seeing that we both have roses!
This is so beautiful! Love it!m💖💖
Me too!!! 💖💖💖💖
👏👏👏👏
Very ethereal images – I like the artist’s signature. Cool.
Agree! It is stone roses cool!
The flowers are growing fast and so is the love!!
xoxoxo
Beauty in black and white. Just fabulous.
Agree! I love finding beauty in the streets and alleys.

So pretty! I wonder if this was spray paint?? They look so delicate and realistic!
Hi Kelley!
I don’t know if it’s spray. I have rarely seen any street artist not use spray. So, I would say spray. I’ve had a few lessons, and there are a lot of techniques for getting fine lines.
The artist is a tattoo artist by trade, so I know he has a developed eye for tone on tone. He did great here, whatever technique he used.
Great little “stone rose garden”. you found.
Agree! What a treat finding art can be.
Beautiful, Resa!
Agree! I was thrilled when I found this!
💙
Wow, isn’t that gorgeous! What a beautiful wall and your post is a lovely tribute to Holly! Thanks for sharing this amazing artwork.
It was such a joy to find this!
There was a single rose there last time I saw it. Now it’s an entire garden of roses. I see them as poems.
“The rose, a poem of nature.”
😀 It’s lovely, my friend.
Beautiful, Resa, I do love roses. They are my favourite flower to create from fondant.
Oh… you make cake roses?
Yes, I make all sorts of cake art to illustrate my children’s books.
I knew that! I forgot. I love it! A cake artist. Right on!!!!
🥰
Beautiful, powerful . . . outrageously so!
Agree!
So, I’ve done my duty, and nommed.
Did you check out “The Old Man”?
Jeff is one of my all time faves. I always hoped to work with him. I did work with Beau.
Later, on your blog!
You rock!
No, I don’t have Hulu.
I have always been a big Jeff Bridges fan, the guy is hall of fame.
Oooo, splendid, Resa. I don’t usually like black and white images, but somehow it sets just the right note for those roses. Hugs on the wing.
Agree! & They are quite gorgeous! {{{hugs}}}
A 🌹 for Holly and one 🌹 for you, Resa.
Thank you! & one for you! 🌹
🙏🏻
These Roses art are incredible. Also, the title reminded me of this old school band.
The Stone Roses
🙂
It is wonderful art! I haven’t heard The Stone Roses for a long time. I’ll give this a listen. Thank you, Charlie!
Reblogged this on NEW BLOG HERE >> https:/BOOKS.ESLARN-NET.DE.
Thank you!!!!
Beautiful! We are having very different cultures, Resa! Last week here three youngsters (15 to 17) got a raid and were suid because they had sprayed graffities on an old concrete wall. Okay their pieces were not like done by Picasso, but everyone needs to have the possibility starting a career. Best wishes, Michael
Thank you for the reblog, Michael! I still can’t get onto your blog, unless I find your post in the Reader. I’ll try to do that when I go back to my Art Gowns blog.
Too bad about the young kids, and their graffiti. Yes, it is a very different street art appreciation here!
Be well!
Wow
The flowers in the pictures are really beautiful, the shades are reminiscent of some art mediums
Thank you, Chris. I agree!
I’ve been away from this blog for a bit! I’ll be by soon. – Resa
Oh that’s okay, thank you. Hopefully you have been well
Thank you, Chris! Hope you have been well, too!
Thank you, Resa

What can I say that hasn’t been said in your comments?!
You’re murals are always eye ctaching and perfectly photographed, Resa.
Stone Roses for those who are hard hearted … or … not. 😀
Loved this post … Isadora 😎
